It was fate that Christie scored victor, says Celtic boss Rodgers

It was Ulsterman Rodgers' seventh trophy win out of seven since he took over at the Parkhead club in 2016 and the first instalment of a possible domestic treble treble.

The midfielder, who had two spells on loan at the Pittodrie club prior to this season, scored what proved to be the victor with a shot in added time at the end of the first half. The players showed that mentality and strength and talent.

For Rodgers, he can do no wrong in Scottish football.

Adam Livingstone came on at left-back before the game restarted and Celtic soon had the ball in the net again, but Filip Benkovic was penalised for a tug on Tom Aldred before netting from a deep corner.

Aberdeen battled for a share of possession and in the 36th minute midfielder Lewis Ferguson headed a Niall McGinn corner over the bar.

Stewart got them off to a flying start with a third-minute opener and added a second after 21 minutes as Killie moved one point ahead of Glasgow giants Rangers and Celtic, who they face on Saturday at Celtic Park.

"And we also had a good goal disallowed and a chance from a penalty". The striker drove well at the Celtic defence but Craig Gordon saved well.

However, Aberdeen ran out of time before Celtic fans celebrated yet another trophy win under Rodgers.

There is mystery surrounding Celtic's transfer dealings with the Celtic boss admitting he met with an unnamed player and his representatives on Monday, under 24 hours after Celtic had won the League Cup. Hopefully it is just a straightforward concussion'.

He was also displeased with already-booked Christie getting away with what he felt was another yellow card challenge.

"The referee indicated he has played the ball, he clearly hasn't and, if Celtic went down to 10 men, it might have been different".
